Every so often I check my statistics when I’m checking for new messages on Active Rain. I am always shocked at how much activity this site has generated, especially when you consider I only created my Active Rain blog to learn about blogging and to meet the top blogging Realtors on the net.

So, in honor of breaking 400 blogs (about 16 months worth of blogging about Tallahassee real estate), I thought I would provide a list of some of my favorite posts (basically the ones that received the most views and/or most comments).

The topics for these posts, while centered on Tallahassee real estate, cover a diverse list of topics. Most are serious, but a few are tongue-in-cheek stories from my daily real estate brokerage. The funny part of all of this is that the most-trafficked blog is the one that took the least amount of time to produce (I’ll let you try to guess which one it is….I think you will figure it out with a smile).

We have just posted the 19th Edition of the Real Estate Market Reports Blog Carnival. If you have not participated in the carnival, then you are missing out on a great way to drive traffic to your blog. Each week, the Real Estate Market Reports Blog Carnival gathers together localized information from real estate professionals all around the United States (and beyond). Our goal is to create a place with real information posted by real estate bloggers which is much more accurate than the consolidated MLS reports that NAR publishes.

Again, a super benefit derived from the Real Estate Market Reports Blog Carnival is addtional traffic that the bloggers receive. By posting an excerpt and link to their blogs, they have seen thousands of additional people visit their own personal blog sites.

How To Increase Traffic To Your Blog

As the title to this blog suggested, it is very easy to join a carnival and start getting traffic. After you write a new article, copy the permalink (i.e. http://activerain.com/blogsview/781368/Know-The-Basics-Of-A-1031-Tax-Deferred-Exchange) and follow these easy steps:

1. Click This Link To Visit the Blog Carnival Submission Form
2. Paste The Permalink in the “Permalink URL” box and then hit the “Tab” key
3. Enter a few quick descriptive sentences in the “Remarks” block so that readers are enticed to visit your blog
4. Enter your contact information and hit “Submit”

It really is that simple. Your article will have a link back to it with a nice descriptive paragraph that you wrote to promote yourself. Don’t be afraid to get started today!

Please swing by and Leave a Comment and Rate the Carnival!

This is the 19th of a series of blogs that are hosted at different sites each week, thus sending links back to the real estate blogging community from all over the internet. Thus far, the first 19 carnivals have been a great success and many new links back to a bunch of AR bloggers have been created.

If you missed any of the past Blog Carnivals, you can catch them here:
